  • 19 Mapping the Citizen News Landscape: Blurring Boundaries, Promises, Perils, and Beyond
    An Nguyen and Salvatore Scifo 19 Mapping the Citizen News Landscape: Blurring Boundaries, Promises, Perils, and Beyond Abstract: This chapter offers a necessary critical overview of citizen journalism in its many forms and shapes, with a focus on its promises and perils and what it means for the future of news. We will start with a review of the concept of “citizen journalism” and its many alternative terms, then move to briefly note the long history of citizen journalism, which dates back to the early days of the printing press. This will be followed by our typology of three major forms of citizen journal- ism (CJ) – citizen witnessing, oppositional CJ, and expertise-based CJ – along with an assessment of each form’s primary actions, motives, functions, and influences. The penultimate part of the chapter will focus on CJ’s flaws and pitfalls – especially the mis/disinformation environment it fosters and the “dialogue of the deaf” it engenders – and place them in the context of the post-truth era to highlight the still critical need for professional journalists. The chapter concludes with a brief review of the understandably but unnecessarily uneasy relationship between citi- zen and professional journalism and calls for the latter to adopt a new attitude to work well with the former. Keywords: citizen journalism, alternative journalism, citizen witnessing, social media, fake news, post-truth 1 One thing, many labels? Within a short time, citizen journalism (CJ) went from something of a novelty to a naturalized part of the news ecosystem and entered the daily language of journal- ists, journalism educators, and a large segment of the global public.

  • The Bibliography of the Publications by Classmates in the Yale Class Of
    The Bibliography of the Publications by Classmates in the Yale Class of 1956: Includes Work by Wives of Classmates, Work in the Book Exhibit of the 50th Reunion and Listings in the ABEbook Exchange as of 02-09-2018. Introduction Here is a list of 476 publications by 95 Classmates and 10 of their wives, which is probably the first of its kind of any Yale College Class, and, if not, should compare well with any other in scope. But then again, this compilation of so many by so few might symbolize the autumn of book-binding’s age that stretched from Gutenberg’s invention till today and might suggest that publications, free of paper words and numbers, be in bytes to digitally whisk the world-wide-web. Will this new era mark the waning of the printing press as it had once replaced bespoken Latin scripts? Will knowledge be transmitted more efficiently both to and from a heaping, horizontal cloud? NB: Publication data obtained directly from authors has been verified; the data from the Exchange has not been verified. Compiled by W. H. H.

  • The Anatomy of a Moral Panic: Western Mainstream Media's
    Changing Societies & Personalities, 2019 Vol. 3, No. 3, pp. 189–206 http://dx.doi.org/10.15826/csp.2019.3.3.071 ARTICLE The Anatomy of a Moral Panic: Western Mainstream Media’s Russia Scapegoat Greg Simons Uppsala University, Sweden Turiba University, Latvia Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia ABSTRACT Since 2014, there has been a very concerted campaign launched by the neo-liberal Western mainstream mass media against Russia. The format and content suggest that this is an attempt to induce a moral panic among the Western publics. It seems to be intended to create a sense of fear and to switch the logic to a series of emotionally- based reactions to assertion propaganda. Russia has been variously blamed for many different events and trends around the world, such as the “destroying” of Western “democracy”, and democratic values. In many regards, Russia is projected as being an existential threat in both the physical and intangible realms. This paper traces the strategic messages and narratives of the “Russia threat” as it is presented in Western mainstream media. Russia is connoted as a scapegoat for the failings of the neo-liberal democratic political order to maintain its global hegemony; therefore, Russia is viewed as the “menacing” other and a desperate measure to halt this gradual decline and loss of power and influence. This ultimately means that this type of journalism fails in its supposed fourth estate role, by directly aiding the hegemonic political power.

Therefore, the outcomes focus on the interplay between the two areas – reading and writing – while acknowledging that students require intentional practice in becoming active critical readers who possess the ability to respond critically to text and at the same time in learning how to develop the conventions and practices of academic writing.
